richg1998Different online DCC companies sell this stuff. Ebay also.
I did what Rich suggests and bought several assortments just to have on hand.
Start here:

JST stands for Japan Solderless Terminal but the term has become a catch-all for many types of miniature connectors.
This site has a chart with the datasheets for the various families of connectors:

Go to the right hand column for the datasheet .pdf
Good Luck, Ed

The males, you can buy from them as well, with wires or other types of connectors on the opposite end.

Visit my web site at www.readingeastpenn.com for construction updates, DCC Info, and more.
Just remembered, there are a number of different ways to connect decoders and LED's. Hardwire, six pin, eight pin, nine pin, 21 pin connectors and onboard sound system connections can vary depending on the manufacturer.
Miniatronics sells connectors. for connections between loco and tender as does SoundTraxx.
Some companies sell LED's with the resistor attached. Most, no resistor attached.
Check the different decoder companies and do your homework first before ordering anything.
Right now, no idea of your level of DCC experience.

If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
I presume you are looking for decoder wire connector / disconnects. Not cheap, here's one variety from Soundtraxx:

Different online DCC companies sell this stuff. Ebay also.
Litchfield Station and Tony's Trains are a couple I use. There are many more.
I use #30 stranded wire for decoders and sometimes #44 magnet wire for LED's in tight spaces. LED's draw about 9ma. When using a 1k resistor.
You might consider NMRA colored shrink for solder splicing wires, though I usually use a small piece of Vero board.
Order Kapton tape from them also. Much, much better than gummy electrical tape.
Double sided foam tape is good for mounting decoders sometimes. I get mine form LHS in town and has a red binder, suggested by Litchfield Station. Oh, Local Hardware Store. lol
wanted to know where I can find/buy those connectors at that goes into your decoders at? like to get males and females..
